Happy Birthday to me!
Well, SURGIversay, I should say! I am one year old! Life had a new start for me a year ago today and as promised by my DS friends, it has been quite a ride! Overall, I am extremely pleased with my results. I started with my highest weight of 280, was down to 270 pre-op and from that point, have lost 123 lbs. I am now 147! Seems strange to even write that!
I cant begin to thank ALL of you that have supported me and educated me this last year. I know us newbies, are like newborn babes, and can be a real PITA :) But thanks for answering the endless questions and offering support and encouragement. The DS community is great.
Thank you too, Dr Kemmeter (if you read this ) for using the gift that God has given you to change so many peoples lives, so we can actually enjoy them! I never knew how much obesity held me back and feel for those that are still held captive!
Looking forward to more great years and living with my DS!
hugs to you all!

You look great - so healthy - and I know you feel that way too.
